Wendy O. Williams Bobblehead
Aggronautix Toys have just released their very first female “Throbblehead” Bobblehead doll, the infamous late Plasmatics’ frontwoman Wendy O. Williams. ” Wendy O. Williams 1982″ – which captures Wendy’s incredible 1982 look – stands at 7 inches tall and is available in the limited capacity of 2000 numbered units. Displayed in a tri-windowed box, she is accurately sculpted right down to the platinum blonde Mohawk, spiked arm bands and tattered post-apocalyptic bikini. I swear to god, when I look at this doll I can almost hear her belting out “Sex Junkie” right now. Punk Rock! Wendy is the sixth punk personality to be polyresinated by Aggronautix.
Thanks to Plastic and Plush for the Tip!
